Gripping and riveting, a fictional retelling of the Salem
witch trials from the perspective of a young girl and the
devil himself. Award-winning author Turner captures one
girl's brave, introspective soul searching amidst a backdrop
of fear and blame. Truth or Lies? Lidda knew, with a clarity that was like a candle in a dark
room, that all had changed; something was loosed in the
village—Devil or not—and they would pay for it, every last
man, woman, and child. Fourteen-year-old Lidda has always known she was different.
She longs to escape Salem Village and its stifling rules—to
be free to dance, to sing, to live as she chooses. But when
a plague of accusations descends on the village and witch
fever erupts, L idda begins to realize that she feels and
sees things that others can't, or won't. But how will she
expose the truth without being hung as a witch herself?
